"We have been making referrals of patients for services from HIV Care Link for the past 5 ½ years I have been impressed with the compassion, care, and concern they have consistently shown towards those living with HIV/AIDS. Through practical acts of compassion and befriending those who are facing this disease, they provide support, direction and hope for those patients who, frankly, would have no other support available to them.-Peter Bradley, Senior Clinical Social Worker

"Michael (of HIV Care Link) is a model of consistency. I have seen that his compassion is not selective, and he is not afraid to become deeply involved in the everyday lives of his clients. He has inspired me to remove some of my own barriers that prevent me from connecting with patients on a deeper level. His example encourages me and reminds me to focus on the entire person. I would like to thank Michael for his work and hope that he can continue to expand the vital services that HIV Care Link offers to the HIV positive community." -Joshua Blum MD
